"This internship helped me grow as a professional, and as a person. It helped me learn from different perspectives and expand my knowledge on many things like policy work, bills trying to get passed on child labor, and social issues that I was unaware of before I came on this internship. I came home wanting to double major, and become the best version of myself, whether that be in or out of school. I feel like I am able to conquer the world and can always learn ore from people’s experiences. I would recommend this internship to students, adding one piece of advice: go out and be great."

UMOS
Hometown: Pharr, Texas
School: Texas State University
Major: Public Administration and Latino Studies
"As I leave and blossom into a NMSHSA alum, I still cannot find the words to express my gratitude towards this internship program and the people that made it possible. I came into this internship with one main goal: to build confidence. I have gained that and more. The knowledge and experience I have received will benefit my new goal in building an MSHS community at my university, and to spread this internship to others. I see the world in such a new, beautiful light thanks to this experience. To all and every Latino student: You can do it. You belong here, and you have so much to give to the world!"
